A family gathering in a home room with pink walls and a tiled floor. Seated at centre on a striped rug is a figure in an orange saffron robe with a long white jasmine garland, a gold necklace and a dark beaded mala, with long dark hair, smiling. Around them, a group of devotees in white clothing presses palms together in anjali. Two girls in white dresses wear black beaded malas, and a small child in a white dress with floral trim is also in prayer pose. On the left, an older man in white, and a boy in a white shirt stand by. Behind, a framed portrait with a marigold garland hangs above a yellow flower strand. A table at left holds fruit including apples, bananas and a pineapple, and a plate of flower petals. The figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, orange robe, gold necklace and mala, while the page indicates this home visit event.
